[I restarted collecting in late 1998 with the discovery of ebay! <br />
Anyway, during this time (1999-2001), I also re focused my mission from "investment" to "obession." The "obsession" was I wanted any and ALL of his cards but especially the rarer cards. <br />
During this period, I built up an amazing collection. Sometime during 2002, I gave up the "obsession" for my "passion." That passion was about enjoying the hobby regardless of "potential" or future outlook of his performance. I just enjoyed collecting his stuff.<br />
<br />
It sounds like we have parallel collecting lives! I started on eBay at the same time also collecting Steve Young. I remember you could memorize the lot #s you bid on. I bet we were bidding against each other! <br />
Good luck aquiring everything Brunell. I have been trying to do the same with Steve. I know I'll never get close - I live in a small town in the central valley and only get opportunity to get cards thru eBay and the card shows in SJ and the Cow Palace. Plus I don't have big bucks so I don't break many boxes, not to mention my terrible luck when I try! lol <br />
Anyway I can totally relate to your collection and am headed there right now...<br />
